The china fragment is the star — a tiny painting of a centuries-old Texas mission, preserved in silver and worn on your wrist. The cutwork leather gives it serious boho-western energy: rich, worn, and completely original. San Antonio locals, Texas history lovers, and broken china collectors will all feel the pull of this one.
Care
Wipe leather gently with a dry cloth. Condition occasionally with a leather balm to preserve suppleness. Avoid prolonged water exposure. The silver-blend bezel can be gently polished with fine steel wool to restore shine.
